Adrien Helm, What the Living Do



What the Living Do


Adrien
Pull the weeds,
Clear away the leaves,
Plant the new blooms,
Caress the warm stone.

Sort the photographs,
Reframe the fading prints,
Straighten the rogues’ gallery,
Return yesterday’s gaze.

Revisit the cross word,
Regret the unasked query,
Rue the unextended hand,
Sigh into the present day.
